The first-place decision was close, with the doctor and basketball player photos both strong contenders. We ultimately chose the winner for its excellent informative, well-written caption. Second place went to Markus, whose photo featured effective framing and lighting. The superintendent photo earned third place, capturing a genuine moment with a student in the foreground. The Afghan refugee image was our runner-up, though we would like to see more of her face would have strengthened it.
